[Cisspstudy] CISSP and CISA Exam Question

[Steven Atcheson]

I have completed the CISA and CISM exams and will be sitting the CISSP in October. Whilst there are some overlaps in all three, as pointed out, the objectives are different. Additionaly, the types of questions (domains) are different and the methods to answer them are different. eg in CISA and CISM all the answers can be correct but you need to select the most correct answer. 

Another note is the length of the exams - both CISA and CISM are 4 hours with 200 multiple-choice questions where as the CISSP is 6 hours with 250 questions. Quite different.

Regards
Steven
